anyone w/ other ideas? pls help

are you looking for just a boot disk? or do you want to use maxtor's disk management software?

just go to bootdisk.com and you can download boot disks

i just called maxtor,
they surprised me w/ their tech support, NO HOLD TIME AT all, well right now i'm using Fdisk and i tihnk its gonna get the HD installed.

while in the process of formating the hd, i encoutnered stupid errors that forced me to restart the computer.
thus a prob of a new 'hard drive icon' appeared on the 'my computer screen' anyway to remove that?

not supposed to have E drive.
i tried going into fdisk to del the third but it cna't be found
fdisk seems to be working now

how big does windows report E: drive is?

obviously you made 3 partitions somehow. only way to delete it would be to re-fdisk
